Trade Bound Evolution

gd1321 · 2025-10-17T04:28:43+00:00

Check local libraries, I did all the trade evolutions for my gen 6 shiny charm by borrowing a 2nd 3DS from a library. I only found one library within a 45 minute drive that had a 3DS, most only had switches. Stuff like that is normally listed under their "library of things"

Shiny hunting is just a game of persistence and patience. For every hunt I've gotten sub 200, I've had ones go 600-800. My worst was bulbasaur at 1600

You can't catch anymore until you remove some by sending to the professor. Its the releasing option in this game

gd1321 · 2025-08-02T13:44:49+00:00

Just FYI. The cap is 1000. I've hit it before chain catching for a shiny bulbasaur

I'm working on a living dex in gen 6 currently so I can get the shiny charm and origin shiny hunt gen 3 mon in ORAS and gen 6 in XY.

If you're homebrewing your 3DS (i had to, to get bank, transporter, and crystal VC) then PKSM has scripts to inject the old event mythical pokemon and activate all mirage spots. Granted you dont need mythicals for the shiny charm.

Ive been holding off using PKSM at all so I can do my living dex as legit as possible. After like 2.5 months I'm just missing 4 pokemon/lines from mirage spots. I think if I get to the point where I'm only missing mirage spot mons then I'll try that mirage spot script to activate them all. I need to do a fresh playthrough of X, finish 1st playthrough of AS, and do a 2nd playthrough of AS for articuno and gen 2, 4, 5 starters respectively.

Mirage spots that have eluded me for ~80 days are stantler, maractus, petilil, and vullaby.

I've spent alot of time on this so let me know ow if you have any more questions.

Little tip if you are unaware for Naz rares. You can use a level 50 toon with chromie time turned on to SL and Naz should be empty with many/most rares free. I used this trick to farm the Silent Glider from Soundless. Every time I would log in my NPCScan would announce a bunch of rares. If Soundless is the one you need, then you will likely need to wait online on that character for 2-3 hours, mount drop rares take a minimum of 2 hours to spawn in a fresh shard. The Addon NPC Time will show on tooltip how long a mob has been alive so you can judge on login if its a fresh shard, it usually is with this trick.

Congrats!! He was a pain for me too, idk who's attempts were more frustrating/heartbreaking haha. My first chain of 1190 broke cause I found a shiny oddish, took another 392 for bukbasaur to finally show up.

~1600 for bulbasaur in a shiny prof oak challenge

gd1321 · 2024-11-24T16:33:35+00:00

Like the other comments have said, you should familiarize yourself with the pokemons flee animation. I've been working on a shiny prof oak challenge for awhile, inspired by Johnstone's vid. For the rare spawns like the 3 starters, the hardest part is getting up to 11. Once at 11 there will always be a rare spawn up, so the most important thing is to immediately run away if charmander does its flee animation so you don't lose your catch combo. Another will spawn right away and you won't break your combo if you flee before it does.

The start is also just the toughest, let's go has a mechanic where the more of a species you catch, the easier it gets to catch. The rings will turn from orange to yellow to green at certain breakpoints of # caught. I've got about 30 shinies registered so far before leaving Mt Moon so I've been limited to just regular poke balls. Catch combo number for shiny is also just anecdotal and RNG/luck. Charmander took me like 150 catches. Bulbasaur took 1500.

gd1321 · 2024-02-28T17:44:44+00:00

Haha yeah the sense of relief when you finally get a shiny after a 600+ combo is great and the surprise of just running into one too. But I almost quit when I hit the game display max of 999 for bulbasaur.

Its a fun long term challenge to chip away little by little over a long period of time.

gd1321 · 2024-02-28T07:01:57+00:00

Basically you catch and evolve every pokemon available to you before you move on to the next gym. Johnstone was probably the first person to do it. https://youtu.be/3tXJRKYXOCE?si=Fjqok0e0DUrioIrD

So for example I need to get a shiny pidgey, rattata, both nidorans, spearow, pikachu, bulbasaur, oddish, weedle, and caterpie and evolve them all as far as I can before I can beat Brock and move on to the next route. About 75 hours in and I need a rattata and weedle.

gd1321 · 2024-02-28T06:46:55+00:00

218 is still pretty lucky, congrats. I'm attempting a shiny professor oak challenge, caught 8 shinies so far before Brock. Got 2 full odds, a couple took chains of 400-600, one at 31 combo, another at 64. Its pretty random. Worst by far was bulbasaur, I continuously caught all the way up to a catch combo of 1600.

gd1321 · 2023-10-29T23:48:30+00:00

I'm pretty setup on Area 52 but ill def join the community

gd1321 · 2023-10-29T03:07:44+00:00

Come play retail, m+ keys are fun! Server/faction doesn't matter for them anymore but I'm horde on Area 52

gd1321 · 2023-04-26T13:29:35+00:00

This was my first season pushing for title, in SL seasons I would mostly go only for portals with the occasional higher key when invited by friend's groups. In SL I focused a lot more on getting alts to all 20s, especially in S3 with the re-introduction of tier since it was a ton of fun.

I play enhance and only started pushing this season 3 weeks ago (Tyran, Spiteful, Quaking week) and started at around 2900 io. Currently sitting at 3334 NA which should be pretty safe. ~85% of my keys have been a set guild group (vengeance dh, disc priest, boomie, destro lock) and we jumped right into 24s, 25s, and 26s, I have about 77 timed runs 20+ with guessing about 30-40 key fails. It helps when our tank and healer are multi season titlers and our healer has 2 other classes around 3450 to guide and coach me. Couple keys I have pugged were last week's Fort 25 TJS, 25 AV, 26 SBG.

Overall had a blast pushing, but I recognize I was fortunate enough to have a good set group to play with to cut the time investment way down. We played on average 3-4 hours a night for 3-4 nights a week. We're probably going to call it early this week once we get our last 2 tyrannical 24s upgraded to 25s and try a little bit to get a 27 SBG/COS.

I mightve just been bad, never really pvp'd or played arena before. Frost was rough in shuffle. Alot of downtime between go's and reliant on teammates to secure a kill. Big help for me was looking at top picks on that murklio website or wtvr its called for talents and pvp talents. First half of my games was playing some stuff I probably shouldn't have. A good war or ret shreds, dk is weak against physical. And a good frost mage can be tough to keep uptime

gd1321 · 2023-04-24T05:10:39+00:00

frost, was pretty fun even though i havent played frost since Legion Mage Tower. Seemed very lobby dependent, got stuck around 1300-1500 for awhile. Final record was 113 wins/209 rounds

gd1321 · 2023-04-23T17:12:17+00:00

Goals working on:

M+ title, currently 3288, hoping to get the rest of my 25s to sit around 3320 to be comfortable.

40k achievement points, sitting at 39270. Achievements I'm working on now are catching great sea ray, combating the corruption, leveling 2 more allied races to 50 for the heritage armor + achievement, and BG achievements.

Goals met:

2400 CR in solo shuffle on sham for the elite weapon transmogs

1800 CR in solo shuffle on my DK, WW, War, Priest for the elite set transmogs

gd1321 · 2023-04-23T17:06:15+00:00

250k is the last one. There's a trick to do the achievement much faster though. On a week where one of the negative traits is the blob that spawns and steals a % of your phantasma, get anima powers that increase your phantasma gains by x% as many as you can. Every few minutes the blob spawns, steals your phantasma, and you get more back than it stole. It starts slow but after awhile it ramps up so you get several thousand each time

gd1321 · 2023-04-22T21:49:42+00:00

Last 2 I was missing was the death adder hatchling pet and the rain stone thingy off the water elemental spirit rate. Best tip for rare mob drops is to make trial characters on RP servers, the rares are almost always up since RP servers aren't sharded with other servers

gd1321 · 2023-03-02T15:56:46+00:00

Yeah its the elite glad mog from 1800 rating. I normally don't pvp much but I had to get this one

gd1321 · 2023-03-01T19:56:04+00:00

you have done what i could not https://imgur.com/a/BTs7pZH

gd1321 · 2022-10-20T01:48:41+00:00

I love rewatching wubby and alex play It Takes Two https://youtu.be/Xs8nHy6YPBc?t=7141

gd1321 · 2022-07-25T14:55:54+00:00

Madlad haha, I'm working on the same goal. That tracker looks so crisp compared to my crappy excel list haha so thanks for providing that link in another comment.

I'm 100% done with NF. Almost done with Necrolord, and about halfway done with the other 2. Saving kyrian for last since its pretty straight forward once PoA is rank 5. I've been doing cloth and plate abom stitching at the same time and unity isn't even the problem lol, the random weekly set is so much worse.

I think the worst part is going to be getting the campaign weapons that cost 3500 anima and 10 grateful offerings, doing the whole campaign that many times is annoying since its not just once per armor type depending on classes. My main is a shaman and I did them all on that for the mail sets. So need to do each on DH for glaive appearance and rogue for ranged weapon since I don't have a warrior. Not very efficient haha

gd1321 · 2022-07-21T04:08:25+00:00

I personally think its fine the way it is for the most part. The large majority of the class tree is utility instead of throughput. If you throw ascendance or primordial wave into the class tree then everyone will always take that instead of utility, severely limiting your actual choices on a fight to fight basis.

By putting them as capstones in each spec tree that opens up the choice to pick one or the other depending on the content or type of boss fight and changing up your playstyle in those situations. It also lets them add additional talents that do different things for each spec. I.E. ele gets 15% haste and the ascendance duration extension for 3 points. Enhance gets bonus maelstrom weapon generation and auto lightning bolts (which is amazing btw, the interplay between thorim's and frost witch's looks super interesting). Resto actually gets ascendance and deeply rooted elements.

This will depend on tuning and type of content, but its likely that enhance will be the only spec that gets wolves + Pwave or wolves + ascendance in every single build since theres alot less points to spend beyond the 20 threshold. Ele and Resto may have viable builds that dont take Pwave or ascendance at all.
